also, placebo pills are great. lower the car a little with stiffer springs (rce yellows etc) and make the car a little louder and its going to feel 100% faster. way better than 10hp at redline will make the car feel.

I've never heard about people modding their current headers on the twins, inexperience and lack of research I guess. Wish I could've known that before buying the headers. I do have to agree with going to a certified tuner, I guess I took the cheaper, quicker route with OFT, achieving only 80% of maximum gains.

Not really looking into lowering the vehicle, but improve suspension in a foreseeable future. Same with louder exhaust, I already know they don't do anything, I chose the Q300 to keep things quiet and make a deeper note than stock.
